The major concern here is the Fins playing on the road... There are a few things to consider here.
Fins hired a rookie head coach, I dont think you can slap the 3 year probation period on a guy making his first go at it. He doesnt have the experience, so you should expect a learning curve given that there are some good things to build on.
Gase's home record is very very good... The fight in his team in close games cant be understated.
His road record is atrocious, very very bad looking performances when on the road vs physical teams. Its on him to fix this, I think alot of it is roster related, Fins dont control the LOS very well and that shows up alot more on the road. while he's obviously in charge of his roster, 3 offseasons wont get you all the way there and I interested in seeing what he has in mind folloing this season. Because nevermind injuries, I really liked the Wilson and Sitton aquisitions and what he had in mind before the injuries started piling up.
I'd be willing to give Gase another season if there were major changes coming on the defensive side of the ball and they planned to strenghten the trenches on offense and defense. Let him learn from his mistakes.
Its not like there's a clear upgrade around the corner
and...
Its not like the Fins are 1 year away from a SB, if he tanks, it just gives you more resources to put aroud Howard, Fitzpatrick, Baker, McMillan, Wilson, Grant, Drake.... For the next coach
